SUMMARY OF LITERATURE

Fetal chromosomal abnormalities occur in approximately 1 out of 160 live births (Lalani, 2017). There are many fetal chromosomal abnormalities that are aneuploidies. Aneuploidies are defined as an abnormal number of chromosomes and trisomy syndromes are aneuploidies involving 3 copies of 1 chromosome. Maternal age is the most important risk factor for trisomy syndromes, for instance the approximate risk for a trisomy 21 (T21; Down syndrome) of a fetus is 1 in 1100 affected births at age 25 to 29 (Hook, 1983). The approximate risk for trisomy 21 increases to 1 in 250 affected births at age 35 and to 1 in 75 at age 40 (Hook, 1983). In addition to T21, other trisomy syndromes include T18 (Edwards syndrome) and T13 (Patau Syndrome).

In 2015, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) reported that noninvasive prenatal testing using cell-free fetal DNA from the plasma of pregnant women is an important screening tool for fetal aneuploidy. In addition, the ACOG society identified the following indications as appropriate for cell-free DNA:  Maternal age 35 years or older at time of delivery  Fetal ultra-sonographic findings predicting increased risk of fetal aneuploidy  History of prior pregnancy with aneuploidy; positive screening test for aneuploidy, including first trimester, sequential, or integrated screen, or a positive quadruple screen  Parental balanced Robertsonian translocation with increased risk for fetal trisomy 13 or trisomy 21

In May 2016, ACOG and the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) issued new guidelines for prenatal diagnostic and screening tests for genetic disorders. The new guidelines state that fetal aneuploidy testing using cell-free fetal DNA should be offered for any one of the following:  The patient is 35 years of age or older at delivery  Fetal ultrasound findings indicate an increased risk of aneuploidy  The patient has had a positive first- or second-trimester screening test results for aneuploidy  There is a parental balanced Robertsonian translocation with an increased risk of fetal trisomy 13 or trisomy 21.

Furthermore, the guidelines state that cell free DNA screening may be offered anytime from 10 weeks on through the duration of the pregnancy as it is the only screen available in the third trimester. This testing remains a screening test that can have false positives and false negatives. In the situation where no reportable results are available from a serum sample, because these unreportable results have shown to have a higher association with being true positives; unreportable results should be treated as a report of increased risk.

ACOG commented that cell-free DNA testing should not be offered to low-risk women or women with multiple gestations, or be part of routine prenatal laboratory testing because the test has not been evaluated in these groups.

Policy No. MP-003-MD-DE Page 6 of 10 In a nested case-controlled study, Bianchi et al. (2012), reported on the use of massively parallel DNA sequencing to detect fetal aneuploidy with 2,882 high-risk women. The study was termed the “MatErnal BLood IS Source to Accurately diagnose fetal aneuploidy (MELISSA).” These women were scheduled for amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling at 60 different sites in the United States. The authors reported that 89 of 89 trisomy 18 cases were correctly identified (sensitivity 100%, 95% confidence interval 95.9 to 100), 35 of the 36 trisomy 18 were classified correctly, as were 11 of the 14 trisomy 13 cases and 15 of the 16 monosomy X cases. There were no false positive results for autosomal aneuploidies. However, it was noted that this was a nested case control study and did not represent true population prevalence. Further studies that included larger numbers of unaffected controls were recommended.

The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (2015) stated cell-free DNA screening is largely recommended in patients at higher risk for aneuploidy and not the lower risk populations since there is limited studies on this population. The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM) does not consider cell-free DNA screening as first-line screening and that conventional screening methods should be utilized in this group.

In the analysis performed by Norton and colleagues (2013), it was stated that the use of the cell-free DNA in maternal plasma represents a tremendous advance in prenatal diagnosis. In this analysis, it was noted that true cost-utility analysis is necessary to determine the actual clinical effectiveness of this screening in the general prenatal population.

Palomaki et al. (2011) noted that measurement of circulating cell-free DNA in maternal plasma resulted in a Down syndrome detection rate of 98.6% (209/212), a false-positive rate of 0.20% (3/1471), and the testing failed in 13 pregnancies (0.8%); all were euploid. Before unblinding, the primary testing laboratory also reported multiple alternative interpretations. Adjusting chromosome 21 counts for guanine cytosine base content had the largest impact on improving performance.

Langlois and colleagues (2013) provided an analysis of published studies on the use of cell-free DNA in maternal plasma for the noninvasive diagnosis of Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. The authors reported the testing should be an available option to women at increased risk in lieu of amniocentesis. Use of cell-free fetal DNA testing in average-risk pregnancies is not supported as a replacement for the current maternal screening approach using biochemical serum markers with or without fetal nuchal translucency ultrasound.

Norton et al. (2015) published a large study evaluating cell-free DNA testing in a general population sample. The study included adult women with a singleton pregnancy undergoing routine first-trimester aneuploidy screening between 10.0 and 14.3 weeks of gestation. The patients underwent cell-free DNA testing and standard screening with maternal serum markers and nuchal translucency. In addition, the authors conducted a preplanned sub-analysis in ‘low-risk’ women defined as women younger than 35 years of age and women who had a risk of T21 of less than 1 in 270 on standard screening. There were a total of 15,841 participants, and chromosomal anomalies were identified in 68 cases. There were 83 with T21, 10 with T18, 6 with T13, and the remainder of cases had less common aneuploidies. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) for T21 was 0.999 for cell-free DNA testing and 0.958 for standard screening (p = 0.001). In the sub-analysis of the low-risk women, it was reported that cell-free DNA testing correctly identified 19 cases of T21, with six false positives. When low risk was defined as a risk less than 1 in 270 on standard screening, cell-free DNA testing identified all eight cases of T21 with six false positives.

Fetal chromosomal microdeletions in genomic sequence analysis are chromosomal deletions that are too small to be detected by microscopy or conventional cytogenetic methods. Microdeletions and microduplications are known as copy number variations (CNVs). There are several genomic disorders

Policy No. MP-003-MD-DE Page 7 of 10 associated with microdeletions such as DiGeorge syndrome and Cri-du-chat syndrome. These disorders may have distinctive and serious clinical features such as cardiac anomalies, immune deficiency, palatal defects, and developmental delay.

The clinical utility of microdeletion testing is unknown. At this time, there is no data on whether testing for microdeletions improves outcomes in comparison to the current standards of care. Additional clinical studies are needed to gain experience with routine genetic screening for microdeletions as well as clarity on clinical follow-up for detected microdeletions. The American College of and Genomics (2016) does not recommend microdeletion screening. If this level of information is desired, then appropriate diagnostic testing (e.g., amniocentesis) is recommended.
